Welcome to veterans and our newcomers and best of luck in the coming season (whenever that may be)! IMHO, this would be a great year to show clips of team practice whenever it starts. Who on the team is not eligible to play this season? I am not sure with discussion of so many possible changes.
GO CROSS GO! ✝️

The New Orleans transfer,Gerrale Gates, has to sit out a year. Also, Coulibaly is still in Canada, so wouldn't count on him being available.

Thanks, WG. Any chance things might change with so many things in flux

The New Orleans transfer,Gerrale Gates, has to sit out a year. Also, Coulibaly is still in Canada, so wouldn't count on him being available. ...because Canada won't let him out or the US won't let him in? My cousin's son goes to McGill. In May, he had to drive up to the VT border to get him. His son had to get to the border station, then walk across. If Coolabally (yeah, I know it's not spelled right) can play ball in Canada somewhere this year and not lose eligibility, perhaps he/HC should defer and come next year. What's the point of being a remote student and you can't work out properly? |

US citizens were allowed to come home.
There have been multiple stories in the news about foreign students not being allowed back into this counry

BC had to cancel their men's soccer season this week for that reason and the resulting small roster size (while the rest of the ACC will compete)

I posted about this several weeks ago in the "Louth Coulibaly Article" thread, where there's more detailed information on the Government's policy.
Any change in the policy couldn't be considered until after January 20th of next year, and obviously only in the case of one electoral outcome. Hard to imagine, in any case,it could be done in such a way that LC will be able to come in next semester either - unless Holy Cross is not all-remote then.

I'm guessing the course of the disease will have more effect on this particular border policy than November outcomes.

Gates has two years of eligibility remaining There is a financial incentive for a player in that situation at HC to sit one, play one and become a graduate transfer, if I'm understanding the eligibility rules correctly. The coach and school have every opportunity to convince the player that an HC degree and a senior year playing for a winning team under a coach who brings out the best of the player's skill set is the better choice. But, the option remains in the player's back pocket so the onus is on the coach and the school to truly help the person become a better player and person and earn a proud lifetime Crusader for Holy Cross. |

I think you’re absolutely wrong about the seriousness of a D.1 basketball program - it doesn’t work this way ! You can be assured he’ll spend 3 yrs at HC and we’ll see him play 2 years and he’ll depart as a committed HC alum

I assume that Gates will spend 3 years at HC earn a degree, and play 2 years. Very similar to Josh Sankes. It is possible that Gates can graduate in two and move on. It would require some work. 100 percent of credits might not transfer. I assume he'll need a certain amount of classes in his major. Distribution requirements might be different at HC than New Orleans. I think it is likely there would have to be some overloads or summer classes to get graduate in two. Not an easy task when balancing the time commitment of D-I college sports This is different than RJ Evans who had a normal four year academic career and graduated with a year of eligibility in this pocket |

I don't know for 100 percent sure, but as I understand the rules. . . 1) Of course he can take a double major 2) He can still be eligible if he doesn't. This isn't a kid needing to find a 5th year at one school because of a medical redshirt (like Andrew Keister). The logistics of transferring should be enough of a set back to keep him PL eligible through his 5th year of college. It's my personal uneducated, uninformed guess that there are few non athlete students that transfer into HC and graduate after 8 total semesters without some overloads or judicious use of AP credits |

"Get after it?" Whatever the heck that means. After last season, the bar is set so low for the upcoming season, just not losing another 5+ players to transfer might be a "win." Covid, probable delayed season are just icing on the cake.
Less hype, more results, please. To quote td128: "Just Win!"

This is not the year to have one of the most inexperienced teams in the country, unfortunately.
I just hope they get to PLAY ten games!
